All Frat Boys are Drunks: Does that Define You?

• In Event: G.I.F.T.S. Session III

Abstract

Within the university setting it’s not unusual to hear students voicing comments such as “You’re so gay.” While generally offensive, these words have even harsher impacts when expressed during a speech in front of a diverse audience. By co-constructing a large and tangible list of “groups” with which they identify, this activity provides students with the opportunity to consider the demographics of their audience and the impact their words may have on these individuals.
